These chords are the basic skeleton of the song.
The actual song is a little fancier. Listen if you care to figure it out.
AmShe fed me strawberriGes and freezer-burned ice crAmeam
I said "GoodbyeE, I guess" She lifteFd up her dress
and so I must conDfess, we made out one more
Atime befDore I leAft for gDood
She thouAght I'd Dcome back Abut I
Bflat F E
wouldn't want to seem like other guys
(Same pattern as above until Am)
A book-and-record love, we sat and read our books,
between those longing looks, compounded by our fear,
My tongue inside her ear, my tongue inside her
in the basement of her mother's house where she once taped the
first three sides of Sandanista for my cAmar.
We were lDooking for oursGelves and fD/F#ound each Emother. In the AmCar
it was raDre to do much mGore than siD/F#mply mess Emaround. In theAm Car
It was moDstly mutual GmastuD/F#rbatiEmon And though we Amspoke of penetration
I'd have to Cwait for someone else to try it ouGt
Once I had this dream
where I slept with her mom
Unless I've got this wrong, a secret all along
Unless she hears this song
unless she hears it
on a tape inside her car
with her new husband and she
turns to him and says "I think that's me"
In the Car
We were looking for ourselves
but found each other
In the Car
We groped for excuses
not to be alone anymore
In the Car
We were waiting for our lives
to start their endings
In the Car
We were never making love
We were never making love
